It is reported
by one Ms. Isharat Jahan ,w/o Shri Shamshuddin Khan of Deoria, UP that their
house situated in Mohalla Abubaker was attacked on April 17, at around noon
time, by the Superintendent of Police, other police officers and jawans, and
a large contingent of the PAC. The invading party broke open the main entrance.
They indulged in destruction of furniture, etc. Some valuables, that were kept
for the marriage of two daughters, like bridal dresses, some cash (Rs. 40,000/-),
and jewelry worth Rs 1,00,000./- were all looted. The officers and Jawans abused
women and children in most foul language. This continued for about two and a
half hours. When a local MLA tried to intervene the police falsely told them
that it was a case of attachment and was being done under orders of higher police
authorities.

One Shri Ram Nagina
Yadav was murdered on April 13, around 7.30 in the evening. Three persons were
named in the FIR. It was said that Pankaj Rai, who had an old feud with late
Shri Yadav, had shot him. He, Imran, and Zuber, his accomplices, were absconding.
On coming to know of the FIR, Imran's father handed him over to the police.
Pankaj Rai and Zuber are still absconding. No action has been taken regarding
Pankaj Rai as he is related to a Minister in the State Cabinet. Shamshuddin
is Zuber's father's brother, though they live separately. Shamshuddin and his
sister's brother were taken into custody on the night of April 13. Terrorised
by this action, his family had locked house and taken shelter elsewhere. The
police broke into the locked house, looted and vandalised it, and destroyed
some property. It is reported that a Minister of the State Government, a Parliament
member, and a member of the Legislative Council branded a hole community as
ISI agents.

The above case
has been reported to the National Human Rights Commission and a copy has been
sent to the General Secretary, PUCL at Delhi.
